In "Bodyguards to Cleopatra!", a desperate Paul Dennis races against time to save Robotman’s mind after a rogue criminal exposes his body to deadly radiation. With the android’s life hanging in the balance, Dennis must find a way to transfer his consciousness into a new form—before the threat of public panic becomes reality. Frank Bolle’s dynamic art brings the high-stakes sci-fi drama to life, while Win Mortimer’s striking cover captures the tension of a hero on the edge.
